Definitions
- the invention relates to an adapter for connecting an office-network plug connector to an industrial plug connector.
- Network plug connectors which serve to connect, for example, computers to networks are known from office technology. Such plug connectors constitute proven, low-priced components. Also known are industrial plug connectors by means of which a reliable electrical connection is possible even in surroundings in which high demands are made on mechanical strength, resistance to environmental influences and imperviousness to dust and liquids and also on processability with ordinary industrial tools.
- the object of the invention therefore consists in making it possible to also use the proven, low-priced office-network plug connectors in conjunction with industrial plug connectors.
- an adapter for connecting an office-network plug connector to an industrial plug connector, the said adapter having a casing which is provided with a mounting flange which can be screwed to a switch-cabinet wall, for example, an office-network plug-connector part and an industrial plug-connector part, the contacts of which are connected to one another.
- the said adapter ensures, in conjunction with, for example, a switch cabinet in which it is installed, that separation between the connection side of the industrial plug connector and the connection side of the office-network plug connector is guaranteed.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an adapter according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view through the adapter in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 shows a top view of that side of the adapter in FIG. 1 which is intended for the connection of the office-network plug connector.
- the adapter 5 has an office-network plug-connector part 10 and also an industrial plug-connector part 14 , whose contacts are connected to one another.
- An office-network plug connector which is complementary to the office-network plug-connector part can be plugged into the latter, whereas an industrial plug connector which is complementary to the industrial plug-connector part can be plugged into the latter.
- the office-network plug-connector part 10 and the industrial plug-connector part 14 are connected to one another mechanically by a connecting piece 12 .
- the said connecting piece 12 is part of a continuous screen 16 which extends from the office-network plug-connector part 10 as far as the industrial plug-connector part 14 , so that screening of the cables belonging to the plug connectors plugged into the adapter is continued.
- the screen of the adapter is disposed in an inner casing part 18 which is surrounded by an outer casing part 20 which, in turn, is provided with a mounting flange 22 .
- the said mounting flange 22 is provided with apertures 24 by means of which it can be fastened to a wall 26 which is represented only in the form of a cut-out portion here and may, for example, be the outer wall of a switch cabinet.
- a sealing rubber 28 is further disposed here between the wall 26 and that mounting face of the mounting flange 22 which faces towards the said wall.
- the mounting flange 22 lies on the outside of the switch cabinet, a fact which has the advantage that the opening in the wall of the said switch cabinet can turn out to be comparatively small, that is to say the office-network plug-connector part has smaller dimensions than the industrial plug-connector part.
- the office-network plug-connector part has a spring-carrier 30 which is provided with contacts 32 .
- the said contacts 32 are soldered into a circuit board 34 into which contacts 36 belonging to the industrial plug-connector part 14 are also soldered.
- the contacts 36 lead to a contact-carrier 38 which is disposed in the interior of the screen 16 .
- a locking arrangement in the form of a locking lever 40 by means of which a complementary industrial plug connector can be locked on the adapter.
- the contact-carrier 38 is provided with a coding system, so that it is guaranteed that the complementary industrial plug connector can be plugged into the industrial plug-connector part only with the correct polarisation.
- a sealing system for example a sealing ring, is also provided.
- the adapter described makes it possible to use, on the inside of the switch cabinet, conventional, low-priced, proven office-network plug connectors, on which no special demands have to be made in respect of mechanical strength or sealing. There is then available on the outside of the switch cabinet, for connection in the industrial surroundings, an industrial plug connector which is suitably sealed and mechanically strong in view of the harsh conditions of the surroundings.
